America Now Preparing for World War III

Because this article states so many things that might be likely to contradict what most people in Western countries have been led to believe, readers here are especially strongly encouraged to click onto any allegation which seems at all questionable, in order to get to the sources behind any given questionable allegation. And wherever a clicked-onto source turns out to be another article, one is encouraged similarly to do the same there, so that the reader will be able, in this way, to probe down to the ultimate sources, which are the sources upon which this article is finally based.

The anti-Russian Cato Institute calls Russia “a defensive, paranoid, nuclear power.” Cato doesn’t call the U.S. by a phrase that actually fits the U.S. but certainly not post-Soviet Russia: “the greatest threat to peace in the world today.” That’s because America’s aristocracy want the American people and the people in the nations controlled by their allied aristocracies to view Russia as being “a defensive, paranoid, nuclear power,” instead of as being an intensely threatened nation — threatened by the U.S., the nation that is actually generally viewed as being, by far, “the greatest threat to peace in the world today.”

The U.S. has expressed full support for Ukraine to become a part of NATO, but some other member-nations of NATO haven’t yet allowed that to happen.

The United States government, via its USAID, and NATO, and Atlantic Council, and Brookings Institution, and American Enterprise Institute, and Open Societies Foundations, and Cato Institute, and all of the other foreign-affairs ‘charities’ run by the U.S. aristocracy, is promoting this preparation for WW III, by repeating the U.S. White House’s line, that the coup in Ukraine was no coup but just a ‘democratic’ overthrow of the democratically elected President of Ukraine (Viktor Yanukovych), done in order to eliminate a corrupt (but democratically elected — his having been democratically elected is not being disputed) President, but conveniently ignoring that all Presidents of post-Soviet Ukraine have been corrupt, and none of them would even have been able to win that office in any other way. Furthermore, the U.S.-installed regime there is yet more corrupt than was the one the U.S. overthrew. Yet, still, the U.S. isn’t condemning its new client-state. ‘Corruption’ was an excuse for the coup, not the actual cause of any ‘Maidan Revolution’ — and now the residents even within the formerly pro-overthrow portion of Ukraine regret the overthrow. (And how!) (And, for Gallup, there, to compare the favorability rating of the post-coup President, Poroshenko, who rules a country which no longer includes Donbass, which had voted 90% for the man whom Obama overthrew, and also no longer includes Crimea, which had voted 75% for the man whom Obama overthrew, isn’t at all fair — even though Gallup still did find that Yanukovych’s approval-rating “was never as low as Poroshenko’s is now.” Poroshenko was bombing Donbass, which is the dark purple part of that map, and he still wants to go to war against Crimea; so, his approval rating in those two former parts of Ukraine, would be about zero — which would lower his approval in all of the former parts of Ukraine, even lower than it showed in Gallup’s recent poll.)

You can see here and here what the Obama regime was actually sponsoring in Donbass: the bombing of the cities and villages there, while labeling all of the residents there as ‘terrorists’ and this bombing campaign against them as an ‘Anti Terrorist Operation’ or ‘ATO’. And here are the international laws that the Obama-imposed Ukrainian regime was violating. The goal of this bombing was to kill as many of the residents as possible and drive the rest into Russia as refugees, so as to clear Donbass for gas-drilling by U.S.-backed companies — and maybe set up U.S. nuclear missiles there, also. The plan didn’t succeed, though it did produce lots of corpses and refugees.

U.S. President Barack Obama is a brilliant person, who has thus been able to fool not only many of his fellow-Americans, but solid majorities also in the allied nations that the U.S. largely controls, to believe his lie, that the aggression is in Moscow, not in Washington. But fooling people to believe a lie doesn’t make a lie any the more true — it didn’t do that with George W. Bush’s ‘Saddam’s WMD’ lie; and it doesn’t do it with ’the democratic revolution in Ukraine’ lie (where democracy had actually ended with America’s coup there).

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced on February 2nd that he approves of U.S. ‘Defense’ Secretary Ash Carter’s proposal to quadruple U.S. armaments and troops in Europe, against ‘Russian aggression.’

“We are reinforcing our posture in Europe to support our NATO allies in the face of Russia’s aggression. In Pentagon parlance, this is called the European Reassurance Initiative and after requesting about $800 million for last year, this year we’re more than quadrupling it for a total of $3.4 billion in 2017.

“That will fund a lot of things: more rotational U.S. forces in Europe, more training and exercising with our allies, more preposition and war-fighting gear and infrastructure improvements to support all this.

“And when combined with U.S. forces already in and assigned to Europe — which are also substantial — all of this together by the end of 2017 will let us rapidly form a highly capable combined arms ground force that can respond across that theater, if necessary.”

However, the truth is: Russia is not expanding to NATO’s borders; NATO is expanding to Russia’s borders. The baldness of the Western lie to the contrary is an insult to Westerners’ intelligence.

However, (beside the fact that that reader had apparently not clicked onto the links in the article, which documented the truth of what it was alleging), for me to have said that “The U.S. is preparing for an invasion of Russia” is not at all for me to have said that “the US was gonna nuke the Russians over the Ukraine.” There is an important distinction between those two statements, and I shall highlight it here, so that readers can more accurately understand what U.S. policy is, on this very important matter:

For the U.S. to prepare for an invasion of Russia, is not necessarily for the U.S. “to nuke the Russians.”

A good example of this distinction is that, when the Soviet dictator, Nikita Khrushchev, tried to place nuclear missiles 90 miles from the U.S. in Cuba in 1962, that could have been seen by him as being a defensive measure against a possible nuclear attack against his USSR, as Khrushchev alleged it to be, but the U.S. President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, took it, and with good reason, to be instead an aggressive move against the United States — and he was willing to launch a nuclear attack against the USSR if Khrushchev didn’t withdraw those missile facilities (which hadn’t yet been supplied with missiles). The entire world (except for Fidel Castro, who had requested the missiles in order to be able to prevent another Bay of Pigs invasion) agreed with JFK on that; and, on the very same grounds (but even more so) the entire world ought now to support Russia when a succession of U.S. Presidents have expanded NATO right up to the very borders of Russia, and now plan to place thousands of U.S. soldiers and U.S. attack-planes and state-of-the-art tanks, right onto Russia’s borders. This is a no-no, if anything is.

Russia isn’t being faced here with merely one locale, 90 miles off the U.S. coast, but instead with numerous locales, right on Russia’s very borders, which might soon be bristling with U.S. nuclear missiles against Russia. And, clearly, America’s having basically false-flagged the entire Ukraine-Crimea matter so as to be able now to position yet more nuclear weapons along Russia’s longest border (which is its border with Ukraine) is intensely aggressive, and would be seen as such by any rational leader of Russia — and should be seen that way by any rational person, in any country.

The report, ”Rethinking Armageddon: Scenario Planning in the Second Nuclear Age”, issued on 13 March 2016 by the U.S. Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA), says (p. 45) that the change of Ukraine, from being allied with Russia, to being allied with the U.S., and the resulting separation and civil war between Ukraine’s speakers of Ukrainian versus Ukraine’s speakers of Russian, has been “Setting the Stage in Eastern Europe” for a number of possibilities to provoke a nuclear conflict between America and Russia, such as over Latvia, where the current repressions of Latvia’s ethnic Russian minority will produce, gradually over the coming two years, a rising “largely peaceful protest movement for greater political representation and economic opportunity for ethnic Russians in southeastern Latvia [which] turns into a movement that ultimately will lead the United States and Russia to the nuclear brink.” In this “scenario,” Russia’s President Vladimir Putin supports Latvia’s ethnic Russians, tries to help them. Then (p. 51), “Putin is Dragged into a Crisis and Can’t Escape.” Latvia’s repression of that minority sets a trap; he gets caught in it.

This CSBA “scenario” continues: “Fearing that Moscow is attempting to repeat its success in eastern Ukraine and divide his country, the president of Latvia calls for a meeting of NATO’s decision-making North Atlantic Council.” Then, “The Latvian president, determined to avoid Ukraine’s fate, orders the National Guard to join the Latvian security forces and regain control of the contested border towns.” Then: “The arrival of substantial NATO conventional reinforcements creates an untenable situation for Moscow. The commitment of significant ground forces indicates that NATO will not be deterred from directly confronting Russia.” And, as “Putin’s domestic position becomes increasingly untenable, he is forced to consider using tactical nuclear weapons.” The scenario’s indeterminate close (p. 64) is: “If Putin breaks the nuclear taboo, when, where, and how does it stop?”

A reader, “teddyfromcd,” at russia-insider.com, on April 13th, who saw this report, said, in a reader-comment: “Russians, every single one of them, no matter how remotely Russian, must begin preparations to leave [Latvia] and start transferring assets. … I am talking real pick-up-and-start-life-again — it is going to be a painful process, and they will have to sacrifice much of what they have established for generations in the Baltics.” He was thinking that Putin would have to back down in Latvia because, unlike Ukraine, Latvia has already been admitted into and is a member of the NATO alliance — the hair-trigger-organization for World War III against Russia.

And that was just one of several “scenarios” the CSBA report presents to U.S. policy-planners, for provoking WW III — though it ignores that this is actually what they are talking about.

Russia is being surrounded. In such circumstances, if Russia strikes first, its enemies are the ones to blame. One can only hope that ‘the West’ (the U.S. and its stooge-aristocracies) will back down, and finally end its incredibly dangerous attempt to conquer Russia — before the whole world gets ‘conquered,’ into nuclear rubble.
